Whether it’s Julian Casablancas performing “I Wish it Was Christmas” with the Roots, Bright Eyes smashing the hell out of a trumpet onstage, or Ben Harper, Beck, and Billy Gibbons joining Will Ferrell and Conan for a rendition of “Free Bird,” late-night television affords us a wealth of entertaining performances (and just sheer entertainment) as far as musical guests go.

Ergo, each week, we round up every show’s scheduled performances and place them in a handy little list.

Strange and unorthodox fundraising methods from English post-punk outfit Gang of Four, Wilco festival tickets are selling now, Free Energy needs your help in a music video, and Rufus Wainwright wants input on his set list.

Ten years ago, London’s Wichita Recordings rolled out its very first release, Bright Eyes Fevers and Mirrors. That now-famed opus that gave Conor Oberst his reputation (for better and worse, mind) is, appropriately, one of the albums that the label will re-release as part of its 10-year anniversary celebrations, which include a handful of vinyl re-issues and some live performances to boot.
